@GustArballo La única posibilidad real de ganarle un punto a Gaudio, (no un game, solo lograr un 15 en un game) es que él por algún motivo haga doble falta.
Es la discusión de pelearle al oso pero deportiva.
Lo que estábamos esperando, no lo vi y lo hice.

Zinedine Zidane on 🇦🇷 Argentina eliminating Egypt and reaching the World Cup quarter-finals after an incredible comeback from 0-2 under Lionel Messi’s leadership:
🗣️ “This is what legends do. When Argentina were 2-0 down, when the world thought they were finished, they found something inside themselves that only great teams possess. They showed heart, character, and the mentality of champions. They refused to accept defeat.”
“Lionel Messi once again showed why he is a player from another level. Leadership is not only about scoring goals—it is about inspiring belief when everything looks impossible. His presence, his mentality, and his ability to lift his teammates changed the entire game. Argentina followed their captain into battle, and they created a night they will never forget.”
“Egypt deserve enormous respect. They pushed Argentina to their absolute limit and showed incredible courage. But this is the cruelty and beauty of football. One moment can decide everything, and Argentina found those moments when their backs were against the wall.”
“Coming back from 0-2 in a World Cup knockout match is not just a victory—it is a statement. Argentina have shown the world that champions are not the teams that never suffer; they are the teams that suffer, fight, and rise again. Tonight belongs to Messi, to Argentina, and to a team that refused to let their dream die.”

🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:
“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.
Not because he's my friend.
Not because of nostalgia.
Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.
I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.
It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.
One step to the left, defenders follow.
One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.
One glance over his shoulder panic.
That's not football.
That's psychological warfare.
And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.
They don't understand what they're watching.
Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.
He's Argentina's system.
He's their confidence.
He's their belief.
He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.
People ask me about the GOAT debate.
What debate?
Seriously.
What debate?
For me, there isn't one.
The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.
When I watch football, I don't see a debate.
I see Messi.
Then I see everybody else.
That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.
It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.
And today was another reminder.
He didn't need a hat-trick.
He didn't need to score from 40 yards.
He just needed to be Lionel Messi.
And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.
That's greatness.
Not when everything depends on you.
When everybody becomes better because you're there.
I've played against great players.
I've played with great players.
But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:
'This isn't normal.'
The scary thing?
Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.
And they still can't stop it.
That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.
Some players become legends.
Some players become icons.
Messi became a category of his own.
And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...
You're asking the wrong question.
The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”
Te cuento cómo fue el historial entre Racing e Independiente a lo largo del tiempo.
Lo básico: Desde 1910, se enfrentaron en 238 ocasiones, con 78 empates, 89 victorias del Rojo y 71 de Racing. Hasta acá, lo que se sabe: diferencia de 18 partidos.
¿Siempre fue así? No. Y hubo algo trascendental en el medio, que ya te debes imaginar.
En la era amateur, cada uno ganó 8 encuentros y empataron 2 veces.
En el Profesionalismo, la cosa arrancó super pareja: desde 1931 a 1935, Racing lideró el historial. Luego, siguió un lapso hasta 1950 en el que Independiente estuvo arriba con una diferencia máxima de 6 partidos.
Atención a esto:
Desde 1950 hasta 1974, Racing volvió a liderar el historial, con una diferencia máxima de 5 partidos.
¿Qué pasó en los siguientes años para que la diferencia fuera tan grande?
Si amigos, pasó Julio Humberto Grondona.
En 1979, Grondona tomó control de la AFA y se convirtió en el dueño del fútbol y de los árbitros. No tenía oposición ni cámaras. Tenia impunidad.
De hecho, después de su muerte en 2014, jugaron 22 partidos, Racing ganó 9, Independiente 7 y empataron 6... es decir, el clásico volvió a la normalidad, volvió a ser parejo.
Independiente tuvo a un ex presidente del club e hincha ferviente (que odia a su clásico rival) como Presidente de AFA durante 35 años. Todos le obedecían.
Por eso, hablar del historial de Racing vs Independiente sin considerar el factor Grondona es inadmisible.
Las cosas claras: jamás me va a importar la diferencia, pueden cargar tranquilos. Pero no hay que ser hipócritas, porque aunque se vendan como los exquisitos del juego, siempre tendrán las manos sucias.
